SWTOR Sith Warrior Class Review

If you ever wanted to play Darth Vader then the Sith Warrior is for you. They are the Empires strong arm and use their lightsabers along with heavy armor that is equipped with experimental technologies that enhance their strength and powers to get the job done. The Sith Warrior uses their negative emotions to fuel their powers and can effortlessly defeat multiple opponents at once.

The starting abilities of the Sith Warrior are:

Assault: A series of quick melee attacks.
Vicious Slash: Deals high damage to a single opponent.
Force Charge: Jump to a target stunning them and dealing low damage.
Channel Hatred: Restores health over 15secs (must be out of combat).
Unnatural Might: Increase your own and any party member's melee, ranged, and force abilities for a limited time.
The Sith Warrior has 2 advanced classes, the Juggernaut and the Marauder.

The Sith Juggernaut wears heavy armor and uses a single light saber. They use the Force to become almost invulnerable in combat and to manipulate their opponents with their Fear and Darkside auras. The Juggernauts have 2 main skill trees, Vengeance and Immortal.

Vengeance is the dps tree. This tree gives you the ability to use the Force to charge your lightsaber to unleash heavy damage or to make your Force Charge grant Unstoppable which reduces damage by 20% and gives immunity to movement impairing effects for 4 seconds.

Immortal is the tanking tree. This tree has Invincibility which reduces damage by 60% for 9 seconds and Revenge which has a 50% chance to reduces the rage cost of your next Force Scream or Smash by 1 after a successful parry, deflection, shielding or resisting an attack.

The Sith Marauder wields dual lightsabers and is a pure dps class. They have 2 main skill trees, Annihilation and Carnage.

Annihilation has Annihilate which is an instant ability that hits the opponent with both lightsabers and decreases the cooldown of your next Annihilate by 1.5 seconds. They also have Inescapable Torment which inflicts extra damage from bleed effects to choked opponents for 15 seconds.

Carnage has the Ataru Form which increases your accuracy by 3% and successful melee attacks have a 20% chance to grant an additional force strike. Their other ability is Gore which causes Impale to attack with both lightsabers.

Both classes share the Rage skill tree that gives greater control of the Force and mastery of the Shii-Cho form.

All the classes in SWTOR have up to 5 companions that act as their crew. They can be assigned task such as crafting gathering, and going on missions to supply your character with resources to use or sell. The Sith Warrior Class companions are:
